After taking a tour of Les Invalides and a boat ride down the Seine, First Ladies Melania Trump and Brigitte Macron dined at the Eiffel Tower tonightand celebrated the occasion in French labels. For Trump, that meant a custom Hervé Pierre frock, while Macron stuck with her tried-and-true formula: a mini-dress from Louis Vuitton. Both ensembles felt directional and new, with little details that stole the show.
Trumps red, white, and blue palette nodded toward both the American and French flags on the eve of Bastille Day, Frances national day of celebration. Also symbolic was a fabric adornment meant to mimic a bouquet of wheat, the symbol of Ceres, goddess of summer. Madame Macron also nodded to plant life via the floral lace on her 60s-style dress; the metallic threads lifted the look into evening territory. And both women finished off their looks with subdued black stilettosa timeless option on either side of the Atlantic.
Mme Macron appears not to understand what flatters her and what doesn’t. At least she doesn’t look as if she’s trying to dress like a teenage girl here, as has been the case in so many photos of her. Melania Trump looks awesome as always, nice nod to patriotism in both countries with the tricolor. Very diplomatic in her choices every time.
Thank you, First Lady Melania, thank you so very much!
Oh look, Vogue has finally noticed that the world is interested in what our First Lady wears. After 8 years of pretending that trash fashions were haute couture they finally have a FLOTUS who wears the worlds top designers.
Our First Lady is radiant next to Macron's Mom.
Geez, that Ben Garrison piece set it all.
He pegged the Wookie’s scowl, and manly features (arm & pkg bulges ;n)
The guy is Brilliant!
The First Lady’s dress is so sweet! I love almost everything she wears.
Melania looks even MORE stunningly beautiful, next to frumpy Mommy Macron. I cannot understand why Mommy did not at least have her hair styled, decently, for this historic gathering.
Wow. Love it.
That’s why the lady is a Trump.
Mother Brigitte should really cover her knees. It’s quite unflattering.
Ha! And I’ll bet the Trumps have seen that cartoon.
Agree!! Mommy Macron? Not so much...poor dear....that's tough, too, living in the fashion world mecca!
But he missed the BooB belt and trashy shoes! 8<)
Thats why the lady is a Trump.
Ha! Love it!!
Ugh, you had to remind us -

Note the mixed table arrangement, which is European to also shake hand with the lady first... but the etiquette ignorant media will claim Macron is ignoring Trump
Interesting the red is in the middle, as it should, with French Monarchists and Republicans surrounding the left. In the US the colors mean the purity and blood of christ with blue as truth
I love Melania’s dress. Almost choked on my coke when I read “Macron’s Mom”!!
